Potential Leeds addition Ezgjan Alioski has been winning plenty of praise.
It was reported this week that Leeds United are hoping to sign Lugano winger Ezgjan Alioski, according to Swiss outlet Corriere del Ticino.
Alioski has become a wanted man after a sensational season in Switzerland, in which he netted 17 goals and provided 14 assists.
It is form which has seen him dubbed the Macedonian Gareth Bale, by German website SPOX.

The feature discussed how Alioski transformed himself with a position switch from full-back to become a right-winger, and how he even starred as a centre-forward last season too.
It is claimed that in recent months big name clubs including Leicester City, Lazio, Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen have all been tracking his progress.
Leeds United fans
Alioski is 25, and has had a slow rise to prominence, with his form really exploding this season since converting into playing an attacking role.
Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale did not unlock his potential too until he switched from left-back to left-wing, and his tremendous final season at Spurs earned him a move to La Liga.
Alioski is in a lower profile scenario but like Bale he has the potential to become his country’s biggest star, and a switch to Leeds would see him enhance his reputation further, if the Whites are fortunate enough to secure his signature.
